Chicken and rice


Our Mummy is the bestest!  The very bestest ever!  When the family have chicken, Mummy always makes us a special dinner.  Mummy is clever and she always gets 2 meals from a chicken.  When the children were little she would buy a really big chicken and get 3 or 4 meals out of it.
Anyway, the family had roast chicken yesterday and today they are having chicken carbonara, which is a fancy way of adding in pasta.  We like pasta.
When mummy has taken off all the meat for them she is left with a CAR CUSS.  That's what she says it's called.  She puts it in a big saucepan of boiling water and boils it for about 20 minutes.
The Car Cuss.
Then she gets it out and strips every last little bit of meat from the bones.  You have to do this while it is still hot as you get more off that way.  Mummy burns her fingers doing this and she sometimes says naughty words.  We have to put our paws over our ears cos we are good dogs.  That leaves the bones which are thrown away.
The bones.
Mummy says we can't eat these bones cos they are too tiny and we would get them stuck in our throats and choke.  We don't want to choke.  Mummy is very good and makes real sure there aren't any bones.
The meat.
It doesn't make much meat, but Mummy uses the water that she boiled the car cuss in to cook some rice.  That way the rice absorbs all the goodness from the chicken car cuss!  It makes very tasty rice.  Mummy mixes it with the meat and we get it for our dinner. 
When Mummy makes chicken and rice we don't want go for our walk with our Daddy, cos we want our chicken and rice.  Daddy was marking X-am papers or something tonight.  We think that's a school thing.  It has made our walk late so we haven't had our dinner yet.  When we do get back, Mummy and Daddy will have to have theirs first so we'll still have to wait.  It's no fair! 
We do love our Mummy though, co she makes the best chicken and rice ever!
This is our rice cooking!
